Saudi Arabia bans D.C. Jew from entry. Ya. Rly.

CAIRO, March 24 — Saudi Arabia has barred entry to a Washington-based Israeli journalist traveling with Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on his current Middle East tour, the United Nations said today.

Mr. Ban is going to Riyadh on Tuesday for two days of the summit meeting of the League of Arab States.

Orly Azoulay, the Washington bureau chief of Yediot Aharonot, was
unable to obtain a visa to Saudi Arabia despite assurances the Saudi
mission in New York gave the United Nations last week, said Michéle
Montas, Mr. Ban’s spokeswoman.
